In full reconfiguration of global economic balances, the central bank of Russia creates surprises. In his latest report he ranks Bitcoins at the peak of financial assets in 2025. Unexpected recognition from the institution so far carefully about crypts. This turnover emphasizes both the remarkable performance of assets and its growing integration into investment strategies, even in the financial environment controlled as Russia.
In short
- The Russian Central Bank publishes an official report, which in 2025 places bitcoins on the top of financial assets.
- According to BCR data, Bitcoins have an annual return of almost 40 % and a cumulative power of 121 % since 2022.
- The report emphasizes the strong volatility of bitcoins, with a decline in 20 % at the beginning of the year, followed by a reflection of more than 10 % in April.
- This recognition by the implicit public institution strengthens the legitimacy of bitcoins as an asset class without representing regulatory support.
Exceptional performance according to the Russian Central Bank
In the official report published in May 2025, the Russian Central Bank (BCR) recognized exceptional bitcoin performance in the last twelve months.
“Bitcoin has surpassed all other financial instruments analyzed with an annual yield of nearly 40 %”We can read in the document.
This report determines the exact comparison between the yields of various assets, from gold to Russian federal obligations (OFZ), including sectoral actions.
Even better, “The Cumulative Bitcoin yield has reached 121 %since January 2022”It continues in the report, a massive jump compared to traditional assets, most of which do not exceed the increase in number.
This analysis is based on a double data range that appears in graphics 36 and 37 messages that compares the performance of a wide range of financial instruments for 12 months and since January 2022.
- Russian federal obligations (ofz), traditionally used as a reference to stability whose yields remained very mild;
- Robble and Euros deposits whose performance did not exceed 5 to 6 %;
- Gold that showed profits only on the figure during the observed period;
- Russian sectoral events (energy, transport, finance, consumption), as well as the MOEX index, all exceeded bitcoins;
- S&P 500 TR and American treasury accounts that also defeated crypto in terms of cumulative performance.
This encrypted recognition, although presented in a neutral analytical framework, breaks with the positions of historically cautious, even unwilling Russian authorities in terms of bitcoins.
It emphasizes the rise of asset, which is not officially supported, is now imposed by proof of its return.
Permanent volatility and global adoption
If the Russian central bank emphasizes the yields of bitcoins, it does not overlook the risks associated with its volatility. The message emphasizes that “The first four months of 2025 were marked by a decline in almost 20 % of the bitcoins”The failure that seriously swung the markets and testified to investors’ resistance.
However, the crypto reflected rapidly and recorded an increase of more than 10 %in April, allowing the losses of the first quarter to be alleviated. These brutal fluctuations recall that bitcoins, despite their attraction, remain a benefit of high risk, subject to sudden repairs.
In addition to the Russian sphere, the BCR report provokes external elements that supported the growth of bitcoins. The emergence of Bitcoin ETF in cash, especially in the United States and Hong Kong, played a decisive role.
“The approach is facilitated through traditional brokers contributes to the growing acceptance of bitcoins”It remarks an analysis that emphasizes that investors no longer have to control the complexity of digital portfolios.
In addition, macroeconomic instability, whether degradation of ruble or uncertain global environment associated with trade war, pushes saver to assets used in dollars such as bitcoins.
